    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir for giving me this opportunity to add my voice to this Petition. I want to commend the people of Kibra Constituency for coming up with this Petition. The issue of IDP is an issue that we cannot ignore. I support my fellow Senators who have asserted that there is need to intervene and see how they can be resettled. However, in as much as we feel there is need to resettle the IDPs, there is need also to identify who exactly are the genuine IDPs and who are the brokers. In such a situation, we also find that there are many brokers who will come in the name of IDPs. There is need for them to be settled. However, the Committee should be hawk-eyed and ensure only genuine IDPs are resettled. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I can imagine their pain and I feel for the IDP families. I can also feel the psychological trauma that they are going through because of the displacement. Therefore, there is need to intervene with speed and ensure that we settle them. After they are settled, they will affirm that the Senate intervened to sort out their issue. We were elected to serve our people. We must ensure that we reach out to them and sort out their issue. Further, the issue of psychological trauma also has to be dealt with, with utmost speed. If we do not do so, children will continue to suffer and they will not perform well in schools and eventually they will be a burden to the society. Our core business is to ensure that we come up with leaders who can lead this country. We can also have children from the IDPS who can lead this country. If we intervene on this issue, the children will remember us and they will be great leaders in this nation. I beg to support this Petition in all ways. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
